This problem started on Dec 19th. I bought new plug wires since the old ones were melting due to old age, new distributor cap and ignition rotor since they were in bad condition.
Replaced the plug wires, distributor cap and rotor and now my Celica won’t start. Tested if it was a fuel issue but to fully finish diagnosing any fuel issues the car needs to be able to run. I’ve taken out the distributor housing and installed it like 4 times now, making sure that everything is timed correctly and it still won’t start.
I understand that the plastic rotor needs to be on the 1st cylinder and timed accordingly for the other cylinders. I followed every direction to the best of my knowledge using the Haynes manual but this car is making me seriously consider if I’m dumb or not.
If anyone has any information regarding the issue I’m running into it would help out a lot as I have work tomorrow and it still won’t start. T-T
the engine is a 3S-FE and the model year is a 1986.
I included some pics in the reply’s just to show I got that timing part correct
